  • "I was such a dangerous hitter I even got intentional walks during batting practice." [Casey Stengel]


  • "I think everyone is ticklish. You just gotta find the right spots." [Derek Jeter]


  • "When I began playing the game, baseball was about as gentlemanly as a kick in the crotch" [Ty Cobb]

    I think Johnny Bench's quote may have been the wisest.
